John Bee (" Slang Dictionary," 1823) says that Lord Petersham was the founder of the sect, and gives the pawned - ties is "French gait, lisping, wrinkled fore- heads, killing King's English, wearing 1132- • mem plaited pantaloons, coat out away,. small 'waistcoat, ora,vitt and. chitterlings immense, hat sniall, hair frizzled and pro. truding." There is a good picture of the Fashionable Fop in the Busy Body for. March, 1816, but - the word dandy is not used. Pierce Egan, in his edition of Groin, 1823, says the dandy, in 1829, was a fashionable tiondescrirti--nied who wore stays to give theta a, fine shape, and Were more than ridiculous in their apparel: Now a Dandy' s a thing, Cieserthe him who can That is very anueliznade in the shape of a man But if but for once could the fathion prevail He'd be more like an Ape if he lead but a tail.' The dandy of 1816-24 was; ingact, the old macaroni depicted in the Louden Magazine for April„ 1772. The d • of 1816 led to several other applications et t • word, such as " dandigette ' and "den • y - horse," or- velocipede. Of this leapt Bee says (1823) ; "Hundreds of such might be seen in a day: The rage oeased 18 about. three years, and the word is becoming obsolete." The word a Alandy " has. certainly not become- obsolete, but after 1825 its meaning gradually • changed.
